This song helped snapped me out of my despair when I was 15 years old and kept me from pursuing su***de. If you’re going through a rough time in your life, hold on. God loves you and has a beautiful plan for your life, to redeem your past and be present in this gift of a moment. He holds your future in His loving hands.

We are freed from any sin and shame because of Jesus’ death on the cross. His resurrection on the first Easter morning gives us hope for new life in Him. The old has passed away, the new us can begin again. Blessings, friends.

Some people get so into yoga and its source, they wander away from Jesus, but my journey has been different. It was because I was having to battle mentally with teachers who didn’t share my faith that I started teaching from my point of view. Anything, anyone, any pursuit can be made an idol. I think our heart and intentions matter a great deal and we can pray to and commune with God in any physical position, while we are doing almost anything, but nothing unethical or immoral.

Practicing the presence of God by Brother Lawrence shares many examples of this. For me, yoga was a moving meditation. I often play Christian worship music, hymns, calming, happy or calming instrumentals while I practiced or taught. It was a way to move and calm my body and mind while I prayed and meditated. Yoga is a form of mental, physical and spiritual exercise to me and it’s one of the way I use to draw closer to God, like walking and praying, reading the Bible, journaling, playing the violin or creating art. I just want to live in a way that honors jesus’s sacrifice and shows my gratitude to God, for his love, direction and blessings (especially through the challenges in life).

Romans 8:28, I paraphrase “and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called to his purpose.” I hold onto this when I’ve struggled with sickness, when life gets tough, when unforseen and terrible things happen, somehow God makes a way through. When we remember God’s faithfulness, we are able to face the unknowns of our tomorrows. May you, my friend, be blessed and experience more of God’s love and truth in your life today. Amen.

Singing the Goodness of God in chapel, the lyrics “the goodness of God is running after me” makes me think maybe that’s why we are instructed to spend time with God, slow down enough for the goodness of God to catch up with us…

PSA: There is such a thing as a happy and healthy weight range for everybody in every season of life. It’s a quality of life issue. Food is fuel for living, not our enemy. May God’s truth free us from our fears. Your worth is not based on your BMI.
